Chapter 157: Chapter 157: True Sun Fire

Su Muyao was taken aback by everyone’s words.

Their response was too quick.

She hurriedly waved her hand, saying, "No, no."

"Don’t make any promises, and don’t speak of death; just go with the flow."

"Pretend I didn’t say anything."

She hadn’t expected that merely wanting to remove the restriction would provoke such a strong reaction.

So this is how it will be.

However, the Beast World seems vast, with many unknown places and perhaps many unknown Secret Techniques that could lift the restriction.

She believed a method could be found.

She just couldn’t tell them, to avoid such intense reactions.

She simply disliked the restriction where the wife dies and the Beast Husbands die with her.

"Let’s go. It’s getting late; let’s head home first."

"Wait a moment."

Hua Linye spoke up, channeling the Fire Ability and releasing flames to burn the corpses of the few people to ashes.

With no bodies, no one would find traces of a fight here.

Watching Hua Linye’s flames, Shen Ci’an’s narrow eyes carried a hint of seriousness, then curved into a seductive smile, "Fox, are you sure you’re just a fox? This flame of yours is True Sun Fire."

"As far as I know, the Fire Ability cannot produce the flames of True Sun Fire. Legend has it that True Sun Fire is possessed only by the mythical Divine Beast, the Golden Crow Beast."

In ancient Beast World times, the Golden Crow was the symbol of the sun and the faith of all Beastmen.

"Your mother was just an ordinary Yan Beast, and no Yan Beastman had the Fire Ability, let alone True Sun Fire, so are you just an ordinary fox?"

"If you’re not an ordinary fox, your mother treating you like that is truly..."

Utterly foolish.

With Shen Ci’an’s words, everyone looked at Hua Linye with surprised and serious expressions.

Hua Linye looked at the flames released from his fingers, also feeling a little dazed.

He always thought he just had an ordinary Fire Ability.

Having been confined to the Xu Family’s backyard, living unvalued and unnoticed, he hadn’t used his Fire Ability before.

Following the wife on the Exile Road, he used the Fire Ability to kill, but no one said anything special about it.

During the recent battle, someone mentioned True Sun Fire, and he hadn’t thought much of it.

Now, with Shen Ci’an saying this, he felt even more bewildered.

Not wanting to cause any misunderstanding with the wife, he explained in detail: "I don’t know. My father was just an ordinary Red Fox, and the Hua Family where my father lived was just a minor household."

"My grandparents were also ordinary Red Foxes, nothing special about them."

If there was anything special, his father wouldn’t have been deceived and died in the Xu Family’s backyard by his mother.

Shen Ci’an said, "This True Sun Fire doesn’t appear without reason; it must come from a bloodline inheritance."

"Maybe you can ask your grandparents what happened, whether your ancestor was a Golden Crow Divine Beast?"

Wen Nanxi also nodded, "Indeed, perhaps even without asking, when your strength reaches a certain level, you will gain inherited memories. If they’re not from a Fox Beast’s inherited memory, then they are from other inherited memories. Perhaps your ancestors were not ordinary."

These matters are something Hua Linye must explore on his own.

Su Muyao was a bit dumbfounded, thinking about the clothes Hua Linye made for her, his embroidery, and how he sewed Fox Fur Power into the fabric, indeed quite unique.

Also, he mentioned the Hua Family’s Red Fox Clan’s sacrificial murals, which also didn’t seem ordinary.

The clothes Hua Linye made were quickly changed out after she tried them on.

For working, cooking, and chores, such clothes would easily get dirty.

Those clothes are best for significant ceremonies or important occasions.

Others hadn’t seen her in those clothes, probably unaware of Hua Linye’s ability.

At this moment, Hua Linye furrowed his brow in deep thought.

Suddenly, he remembered something left behind by his father, a box with strange runes on it, which he couldn’t open with his current abilities.

Could there be something important inside?

Su Muyao seeing Hua Linye’s expression said, "No need to think about those matters now. In fact, they’re not important. Just remember you are who you are."

Su Muyao’s gentle words immediately soothed Hua Linye’s uneasy heart.

Yes, he is himself.

As long as the wife doesn’t despise him, he has nothing to worry about.

Hua Linye’s fox-like eyes gleamed with a glossy light, smiling, "Right, I just need to remember that I’m always the wife’s Beast Husband; nothing else matters."

Seeing Hua Linye like this, Su Muyao smiled at him.

Seeing the wife’s bright smile towards Hua Linye, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous inside.

"Actually, my previous flames weren’t unusual, perhaps related to Fire Poison. Recently, the wife has been brewing medicine to dispel my Fire Poison, allowing me to use my Fire Ability without limits, and it’s no longer uncomfortable, so the flames might differ from before."

Su Muyao said seriously, "Then it might be that your body’s potential ability was suppressed by the previous Fire Poison."

"But after a few more days of medicine, your Fire Poison will be completely gone."

Hua Linye’s Fire Poison was being cured, but Xiao Jihan’s cold ailment still needed some time.

Xie Guixue’s body was nearly recovered as well.

Thinking of these, Su Muyao couldn’t help but sigh.

Once upon a time, she thought about healing them and letting them leave.

Now, they all refused to leave.

Hua Linye earnestly said, "I owe everything to the wife."

If not for the wife, he might have already been dead.

"Don’t say that, you all protected me first."

Protected this body, or else tormented by the dark soul, it might have died before she could transition over.

...

After returning home, Su Muyao first made medicine for Xie Guixue, Hua Linye, and Xiao Jihan to drink.

After this time of nurture, their bodies were gradually improving.

With the medicine prepared, they could brew it in clay pots themselves, while Su Muyao began to pack up the dried herbs and prepare medicine bags.

Wen Nanxi and the others actively came over to help.

Despite returning late, Shen Ci’an had learned to work and do tasks over the past few days.

Shen Ci’an went to Hua Linye to get the tools for grinding the herbs and started helping with the herb preparation.

Mei Qingchen glanced at the enthusiastic Shen Ci’an and worked even harder.

He couldn’t let Shen Ci’an surpass him.

However, if he returned for the awakening ceremony, it would take a substantial amount of time, and when he returned, would he be the last one?

But now, being weak and not understanding the wife’s thoughts or emotions, being around wouldn’t matter to the wife.

Unlike Shen Ci’an, who constantly brings flowers, understands things at a glance, and says sweet words that touch the wife’s heart.

Applying too much force, with a "crack," Mei Qingchen’s tool for grinding medicine broke.

Mei Qingchen was stunned; he hadn’t even used much force.

Shen Ci’an paused, looking at him, "Mei Qingchen, this was something Hua Linye worked hard to make, why are you causing trouble instead?"

Mei Qingchen’s face changed, immediately looking at Su Muyao.

Seeing Mei Qingchen’s pitiful and worried eyes, Su Muyao said, "It’s okay, just make another one."

Mei Qingchen’s efforts to help recently hadn’t gone unnoticed by her, so she wouldn’t blame him for something like this.

Making mistakes while working is normal; having a positive attitude is already encouraging.

Mei Qingchen stood silent for a while, seeming to make a decision, finally speaking, "Wife, there’s something I want to tell you."
